Are you using the debian dhcpcd package version 0.6-2 or higher? If so, it should have prompted you for configuration info when it was installed, and you shouldn't have to do anything else. Anyway, all you really need to modify to configure the daemon if it's already installed is to edit /etc/dhcpc/config, which specifies what network interface to configure (typically eth0), and restart the daemon. -- See shy Jo. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
